Connect your Network Camera behind a router, the Internet environment is illustrated below. Regarding how to obtain your IP address, please refer to Software Installation on page 14 for details. Internet WAN (Wide Area Network ) Router IP address : from ISP IP address : Subnet mask : Default router : LAN (Local Area Network) Router IP address : Cable or DSL Modem IP address : Subnet mask : Default router : In this case, if the Local Area Network (LAN) IP address of your Network Camera is , please forward the following ports for the Network Camera on the router. HTTP port: default is 80; secondary HTTP port is 8080 RTSP port: default is 554 RTP port for audio: default is 5558 RTCP port for audio: default is 5559 RTP port for video: default is 5556 RTCP port for video: default is 5557 If you have changed the port numbers on the Network page, please open the ports accordingly on your router. For information on how to forward ports on the router, please refer to your router s user s manual. 3. Find out the public IP address of your router provided by your ISP (Internet Service Provider). Use the public IP and the secondary HTTP port to access the Network Camera from the Internet. Please refer to Network Type on page 59 for details. For example, your router and IP settings may look like this: Device IP Address: internal port IP Address: External Port (Mapped port on the router) Public IP of router LAN IP of router Camera : :8000 Camera : : User's Manual

13 Configure the router, virtual server or firewall, so that the router can forward any data coming into a preconfigured port number to a network camera on the private network, and allow data from the camera to be transmitted to the outside of the network over the same path. From Forward to : : : : When properly configured, you can access a camera behind the router using the HTTP request as follows: If you change the port numbers on the Network configuration page, please open the ports accordingly on your router. For example, you can open a management session with your router to configure access through the router to the camera within your local network. Please consult your network administrator for router configuration if you have troubles with the configuration. For more information with network configuration options (such as that of streaming ports), please refer to Configuration > Network Settings. VIVOTEK also provides the automatic port forwarding feature as an NAT traversal function with the precondition that your router must support the UPnP port forwarding feature.

28 Client Settings This chapter explains how to select the stream transmission mode and saving options on the local computer. When completed with the settings on this page, click Save on the page bottom to enable the settings. H.264 / MPEG-4 Media Options H.264/MPEG-4 Media Options Select to stream video or audio data or both. This is enabled only when the video mode is set to H.264 or MPEG-4. H.264 / MPEG-4 Protocol Options H.264/MPEG-4 Protocol Options Depending on your network environment, there are four transmission modes of H.264 or MPEG-4 streaming: UDP unicast: This protocol allows for more real-time audio and video streams. However, network packets may be lost due to network burst traffic and images may be broken. Activate UDP connection when occasions require time-sensitive responses and the video quality is less important. Note that each unicast client connecting to the server takes up additional bandwidth and the Network Camera allows up to ten simultaneous accesses. UDP multicast: This protocol allows multicast-enabled routers to forward network packets to all clients requesting streaming media. This helps to reduce the network transmission load of the Network Camera while serving multiple clients at the same time. Note that to utilize this feature, the Network Camera must be configured to enable multicast streaming at the same time. For more information, please refer to RTSP Streaming on page 69. TCP: This protocol guarantees the complete delivery of streaming data and thus provides better video quality. The downside of this protocol is that its real-time effect is not as good as that of the UDP protocol. HTTP: This protocol allows the same quality as TCP protocol without needing to open specific ports for streaming under some network environments. Users inside a firewall can utilize this protocol to allow streaming data through User's Manual

29 MP4 Saving Options Users can record live video as they are watching it by clicking page. Here you can specify the storage destination and file name. Start MP4 Recording on the main Folder: Specify a storage destination for the recorded video files. File name prefix: Enter the text that will be appended to the front of the video file name. Add date and time suffix to the file name: Select this option to append the date and time to the end of the file name. CLIP_ File name prefix Date and time suffix The format is: YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS Local Streaming Buffer Time Due to the unsteady bandwidth flow, the live streaming may lag and not be very smoothly. If you enable this option, the live streaming will be stored on the cache memory of the PC having a web session with the camera for a few seconds before being played on the live viewing window. This helps you see the streaming more smoothly. If you enter 3000 Millisecond, the streaming will delay for 3 seconds. User's Manual - 29
